Diamondbacks sent C Robby Hammock outright to Triple-A Reno.

Hammock was a September call-up but had just two at-bats in his first appearance in the big leagues since 2008. The D'Backs are prepping him for a possible managerial job, so he's probably taken his last major league at-bat. Thu, Oct 20, 2011 07:52:00 PM

Hammock hasn't appeared in the big leagues since 2008 as a member of the D-Backs, where he spent parts of five seasons. The 34-year-old backstop batted .257/.353/.495 with five homers, 21 RBI and an .848 OPS over 120 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this season. He'll function as a third catcher and utility player down the stretch. Fri, Sep 2, 2011 04:05:00 PM

Diamondbacks signed C Robby Hammock to a minor league contract.

Hammock, 34 in May, spent all of the 2010 season with the Yankees' Triple-A affiliate in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. He spent time with the Diamondbacks from 2003-2008 but won't be a high impact guy in his second tour through the desert. Arizona already has two big league catchers. Mon, Feb 7, 2011 02:31:00 PM

Hammock, who turns 33 in May, has appeared primarily behind the plate in the major leagues, but can also play the outfield, third base and first base. He spent all of last season with Triple-A Norfolk (Orioles). Hammock has a .255/.313/.409 batting line over 479 major league at-bats, all with the Diamondbacks. Sat, Apr 3, 2010 01:04:00 PM

Diamondbacks placed INF Chris Owings on the 60-day disabled list with a fractured right middle finger.

Owings suffered the injury when he was hit on the hand by a pitch during Sunday's game. He was set to undergo surgery on Monday, with the expectation that he'll miss eight weeks. The move essentially rules him out through the end of September. It's a real shame, as Owings has enjoyed a breakout year. Ketel Marte should see most of the playing time at shortstop once he returns from the bereavement list, but the newly-acquired Adam Rosales will fill in for now.

He's off to Philadelphia to meet with a specialist. Tomas has been out since the first week of June and there is obviously no timetable for his return at this point. He could very well be done for the year. Tomas, 26, is owed $13.5 million in 2018, $15.5 million in 2019, and $17 million in 2020.

Robbie Ray (concussion) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Visalia on Thursday.

Ray got through a 50-pitch simulated game over the weekend with no issues and the Diamondbacks considered re-inserting him right into their rotation. However, they ultimately decided that one rehab start would do him some good. Ray has been out all of August after being hit in the head with a line drive. He'll be back next week assuming Thursday's outing goes well.

The procedure went according to plan, per the Diamondbacks. Miller will miss the remainder of the 2017 season and probably the first half of 2018 as he works his way through the typical 12-15 month rehab process. The 26-year-old right-hander owns a 5.78 ERA in 24 starts since joining the Diamondbacks ahead of the 2016 campaign.

De La Rosa has been plagued by arm issues all season, logging just 7 2/3 total innings of relief at the major league level. This will be the second Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery of his career and his rehab will likely last through the entire 2018 campaign.
